Glad to see you're getting started quite early and are relaying a message of positive energy to others who are wondering if the same is possible for them!

Your property goes up in value.The utility company pays you for excess energy that you’re not using.If you’re interested in getting a free quote so you can look at the numbers feel free to contact me.

The listing broker is trying to determine the buyers capability with proof of funds, track record, etc. to assess if time and energy is put into this potential purchaser will it likely lead to a sale??

Unless you want to invest locally (like in your town) and manage yourself (assuming you have the time, energy, and inclination) you'll need a PM.

Best of luck and don't lose that energy!

My question to you today, is what should I look for in acquiring a home to flip ( how do I make sure its not a money pit), but also where should I focus my time, energy, and money, to maximize the profits?

What it really comes down to in that case is the amount of time and energy you can and want to put into your investment.

Often, just asking to schedule a visit can tell you a lot about a company, so it can be a good litmus test.Sounds like you have some soul searching to do to determine what your priorities are with regard to day-to-day control over the investment and time / energy allocation.

@Abdul Azeez I have focused my time/research/energy into the Memphis market (for many reasons) so I can't answer to your questions.
